I know Hart! I can’t believe he is an owner of Snowden Deli now! Way to go dude! If you see this, I’m Glad you’re doing well. It’s Jarred btw!
Schwartz is definitely the iconic smoked meat of Montreal. It's the one you'll find listed in guide books and such. I’d never heard of Snowdon Deli until now.
I also like New System's
Quebec Smoked Meat co. in Point Saint Charles is my favourite.
I love these montreal series!!! Proud of my hometown. Please give us more I NEED THEM!!!
Best city in Canada, and one of the best in the world.. You can't recreate the culture you guys have.
( someone from Ottawa)
Snowdon Deli has always been my favourite smoked meat in Montreal. Moist, flavourful and made how you like it. Great service and ambiance. I often buy the hot smoked meat, rye bread and all the trimmings separately for poker night so my buddies can build their own sandwiches. Nothing against the other guys but Snowdon has always been my personal favourite ...all the best...Chris
Bring back Dining on a Dime! I have really missed this series!
Yay! This is the first one of these that's a place I've actually been! It's about a 15-minute walk from my apartment and it's DELICIOUS!
Julie Golick I love their party sandwiches.
He didn’t even give a shout out to Black Cherry Cott !
The Quintessential smoked meat pairing !
Maybe he doesn't like Black Cherry Cott cola. Acquired taste :)
Adam Rosenzveig goood man !
Adam Rosenzveig tarnishing the (as you so accurately put it) SANCTITY of the Black Cherry/Smoked Meat pair !
yuprulesing boooo ! Lol
@@yuprulesing its not a cola
I've lived in Montreal all my life (50+ yrs) and I would have to say that yes, Montreal has the best smoked meat around. Now which is is the best place depends on who you're speaking to. Everyone has their favorite place. Snowdon, Smoke Meat Pete, Dunn's, Ruebens and Schwartz, are all great. For me, smoked meat must be cut medium-fat. NOT fat mixed in with lean but that cut of the brisket where there is marbling throughout the meat..... um.. now I'm off to get some at my favorite place!
3:45 my man in the background checkin out Lucas and his sausage.
My wife and I have been to Schwartz's Deli two weeks ago when we were on our honeymoon roadtrip through Canada. We really enjoyed the Smoked Meat and did not find any smoked meat as good as Schwartzs' on the rest of our trip. Next time when we are in Montreal, we will give Lucas a spin!
Montreal is a fantastic city. Thanks for another great review!
It won't remain nice if ignoramus Trudeau keeps bringing in Muslims with their evil religion.
+Robert William mate.... lmfao
I'm born and raised in Montreal and it's about time people learned about this place. A true gem.
not Schwartz? interesting.
Go to Smoke Meat Pete.
Hell no. It is good but Deli Snowdon is the best.
You mean Celine Schwartz? :) I'm not really into that tourist trap anymore. Smoked Meat Pete is great!!! Should had visited that place instead.
Really good question. That's the place I always get recommended even as a montrealer so this deli I've never heared about really surprised me. I'm not a smoke meat fan, mind you :) Might go check it out, along with Smoke Meat Pete...
Schwartz is overrated!!!!
Watching this during my Montreal trip. I tried Schwartz's smoked meat sandwich, it was pretty awesome. Had Snowdon's smoked meat sandwich today. I prefer the latter too. They're both great but Snowdon's was just perfect. They both cost about the same, $15 CAD after taxes. Snowdon's was probably a little smaller but I could be wrong.
So great to see Snowdon get some more recognition for their amazing smoked meat! Hands down best I've had in Mtl! All those who believe Schwartz's is the best NEED to try Snowdon and see their minds changed :)
WHEN IT COMES TO ONE OF A KIND FOODS LIKE MONTREAL SMOKED MEAT, SNOWDON'S DELI IS ONE AT THE TOP OF THIS SHORT LIST. GREAT STAFF, INCREDIBLE FOOD!!
Finallllllly. An honest video about best smoked meat in Montréal. Dont know if youve been to Wilenskys yet but its a must go to and has such a storied history and oh the sandwiches and old fashion sodas!!! Awesome vids!!!
Greg Paul Wilenskys is a staple, but the sandwiches are boring af
Marc-André B ya i know but still a part of the history of
Montréal in my opinion. Just in keeping with theme so far of this tour.
Yes, Wilenskys! I've tried it once and it was a nice experience.
I miss Bens.
bludhound73 omgoshhh Bens was the best!!! Legit!
Lucas, you're breaking my heart! I have watched all of Dining on a Dime but have never been to a city that you've featured (I'm in Sydney, Australia). I just returned from a holiday in Montreal when this season began and I never even heard of Snowdon's Deli when I was there. I ate at Schwartz's and Reubens and enjoyed both, but I know I would have loved this place. Thankfully I did get to the other places you have reviewed so far, but this is still heartbreaking.
I'm sorry. Are you okay?
I live in Montreal and have been to this place (as well as Schwartz), many times. They have much more variety in terms of home made food (e.g., egg plant, cherry strudel, smoked fish, slaw). I'm not a big meat eater (therefore not a smoked meat connoisseur), but will often go to make of meal of the meatless items, because of the convenience, price and quality. If you are visiting Montreal and would like the smoke meat experience, I recommend this hands down over Schwartz. It has reasonable prices, you won't have to stand on the street waiting in line, and the customer service is way better. Try the old fashioned if you want bold, traditional flavors. They offer fast counter service for take out as well. It is only about 10 minutes walk from Snowdown metro.
Food is the backbone of any culture.
God i miss MTL. Been a year now. Maybe in 2020
Road to 1 million subscribers... Good job Eater...
Thanks for watching!
lol super true!!!! I love Schwartz's smoked meat but the line up and all is super annoying. But Snowdon is fantastic. there is a line up sometimes..... but alot of the locals seem to go there. i'm not a local... living on the west island, but i do pass through it after work each day. the meat and food is fantastaic, service is friendsly. never a problem. so it must be true that local montrealers do congregate to snowden intead to over schwartz. lol !!!
9mins dining on a dime~ finally not 4mins episode!!!
Very informative, I loved Schwartz Deli and it was amazing. Will have to try Snowden Deli. Thanks for the tip!
I need to try this place! Lester's deli too! I've already reviewed Shwartzs and a number of other Montreal staples🍜👀👌
have you tried smoke meat pete? its not montreal its a bit more west about 30 mins from the city hands down best smoked meat
Lester's has been my go too for years. The carrot cake is classic and I'm a major fan of fatty cut
Good Stuff. Thanks, Merci.
yes,yes and yes...very good...the best
montreal smoke meat..10/10.
This Deli Snowdon looks fabulous! I havechad Schwartz and it is good, but full of tourists. I lovectheclocal, family flair here, andcthe extras like Knishes, blitzes and eggplant. I was a camp counselor for 5 summers in Maine at a private Jewish camp. Visiting the kids and their families in the off season exposed me to a lot of great Jewish foods - many of which I never had before. I love lox on my bagels, blinyzes and great deli meats on soft Rye bread. I will have to make a note of this for my next trip - though "Snow Coast" is not motivating! LOL! Montreal is such a great city - full of so many ethnic surprises!
didn't know anything about the montreal food scene! thanks lucas!!
Hi Lucus
its genuinely one of the best food scenes on the planet
I use to love Shwartzs, but it disappointed me the last times I went there. Time to try a new place like this one.
how disappointed ? its the same .. you took a lean sandwich ?
The best smoked meat sandwich is found at the Main Restaurant across the street from Schwartz. Tourists eat at Schwartz's...locals eat at the Main.
Why is Lucas not in the thumb-pic?! Mini-revolt!
He's the only host who looks more delicious than a smoked meat sandwich!
Le Roi du Smoke Meat is also amazing!
C'est sur la rue Saint-Hubert?
@@NOVAsteamed yep
I've been to Dunn's Smoked Meat in Montreal, that was my first experience of smoked meat. Definitely going back, if they're still there.
You should also try : Schwartz and Lesters... Top two on my list!
All of them were great i used to go to Rubens on the strip there about 10 yrs ago
I HAVEN'T HAD A GOOD MONTREAL SMOKED SANDWICH SINCE LAST FALL AND WILL GET ONE TOMORROW AT "CHENOY'S" IN POINTE CLAIRE. ALL REAL MONTREAL SMOKED MEAT IS FANTASTIC HERE!!
You forgot the pickle! One half fat, pickle and a coke. Cherry Cott or fries if you're into it.
Best place for smoked meat in Montreal?
#1 Schwartz
#2 Smoke Meat Pete
#3 Jarry Smoked Meat
Ben's smoked meat is the first smoked meat house (1908) in Montreal at least to my knowledge. Sadly Jean Kravitz closed it down... You can check McCord Museum for more on the history. ( corrected wordins)
Montreal is up there on places to visit
Been to this place a lot, all of their food is great! :)
Hmmmm. I always go to Schwartz. I guess I'll have to try this one next time I'm in Montreal.
You're bang on about Schwartz's bring dry.
Best smoke meat is Schwartz by far and second is Montreal smoke meat on St-Lawrence.
Lucas, I grew up in Côte-des-Neiges, it's northwest of downtown, not southwest.
Pas besoin d'être né à Montréal pour le confirmer lol.
This show is making me hungry!
This show is making me Hungry!
This show is making Me hungry!
That's my George Costanza impression.
Can you guys add spanish subtitles? I love dining on a dime and it would be greatly appreciated!
You need to go to Wilensky’s next!! Seriously! And then get pizza at Bouquet, real good new york style slice.
Does Lucas actually do any in-depth search of the food and restaurant before he goes there?
Most Montreals will tell you Schwart's isn't there favourite... Its the most iconic for sure. However its a dryer usually chipped texture smoked meat. Snowdon Deli and Lesters are where its at
3:52 The dish collector tho 😂😂😂
I'm going here next time i'm in town!
Centre Street Deli in Thornhill, ON had its roots from Snowden. Both are a lot better than Kaplinsky's that skimp on the meat.
Côte-des-Neiges is north-west of downtown btw...
I went over there this year and it was PACKED! I wonder if this video was the culprit?
Live in Montreal. Pretty sure cote-des-neige is *north west of downtown montreal
Forget Schwartz, Reuben's or Lester's, this is the place to go at!!!
edit: and go to Smoke meat pete at l'ile perrot
Great review by a great person
some precision, cote des neige is not in south west montreal. but the best smoked meat is quebec smoked meat in point st charles... but that not a restaurent, you buy it and steam it at home... only cash
some reason was expecting Teh_Pwnererer to be hanging out in the back eating away on them smoked meat sandwhiches.
Pete's Smoked Meat anyone?
Lucas is right. I just had the sandwich at Schwarz's and it was pedestian at best. The flavour was bland unless you got some of the fat in the bite and the meat was dry to boot. I got it from the take-out store portion of the store btw so i dont know if the main sitdown part is any different but it shouldnt be. Everything Lucas said about Schwarz's was on point. I wish I had known about Snowdons.
OK, so plenty of comments about where Cotes-des-Neiges is by cardinal points, but nothing on the mistranslation. It is "hill of snow", not coast of snow.
Schwartz is overrated. Dry smoked meat and they can’t cut the meat properly. Déli Snowdon is a very good place to go eat a good smoked meat and also Lesters Deli on Bernard Ave in Outremont area.
So, now I know where the word for sausage comes in Romanian from: Jewish! We call our sausages Carnatz - :-D
Also the eggplant salad is a staple of Romanian cuisine and my mom does it just like in the vid. She adds some crushed garlic to it for a little kick but some people prefer onions.
Schwartz is for tourist if you go to Montreal enough or live there you know that there a lot than just Schwartz
Montrealer here, can confirm that Schwartz is better than Snowdon
How’s the pulled pork at this place?
Hey! We didn't get to hear the difference between Old Fashioned and Regular smoked meat.
Note to self...Karnatzel ...must try.
Love M.T.L Gogo merci
I wish you could get a sandwich like that in the UK. I would eat at a place that served food like that a lot.
I thought there were a number of Jewish Deli's in London. Is smoked meat just not a thing the English do?
@@recoil53 This smoked meat is only something you can find in Montreal or surrounding areas. nobody makes it like that, it's truly unique. the way it's aged, spiced, smoked and steamed.
@@41italia I wish that travel videos would mention that.
While there are a lot that go in depth about smoking brisket Texas style or pork in the Southern states, I've never been shown Montreal had a unique style.
So I've heard about it, but the actual difference was never been mentioned until you.
recoil53 hopefully you get to try out a smoked meat in Montreal sometime, it’s truly a fascinating sandwich, such great flavour, lucky I live here. I never get tired of smoked meat.
Sacre bleu! Schwartz is hands down the best, and Montrealers know it...Dude is daring to be different.
M Jones ... if you think Schwartz is hand down the best, you really don’t know about smoked meat. Enjoy your tourist trap smoked meat sandwich at Schwartz.
This guy is just so talkative
Schwartz is by far the best
Nothing else is comparable
I still think that Dunn's is the best Montreal smoked meat. Give me a Dunn's on rye with mustard a pickle and a cherry Coke and I'm happy
That shirt looks like it came off the clearance rack at the thrift shop.
Man, bold claim saying Snowdon Deli's the best. I mean, it's up there, but I prefer Lester's myself. Schwartz's is up there but overrated, The Main does it well from what I hear, and there's Le Roi du Smoked Meat and Jarry Smoked Meat and Smoked Meat Pete's too. But, hey, you can't really go wrong with a Smoked Meat sandiwich.
Smoked Meat Pete is number 1 right now for me..
Schwartz on main is #1, Snowden's Del is very good but. not the best :) Cote des neige is Hill of snow...not coast... Thanks for the vid !
Snowdon? Jeez lucas. Its the Main Steak house bahd. Thats the best one.
lucas you should of went for schwartz for smoke meat montreal deli
also go try the greek food in montreal are amazing too
CENTRE STREET DELI Ontario, Toronto. No substitute. Montreal can hide now, you’re time is up for smoked meat.
Literally left the stickers on the aubergine and chucked them in the oven? Wow...
Côte-des-Neiges actually translates more to something like "Snow Hill".
Nope!
Canada is the best place in the world.
I grew up there :)
That pun at 2:09 was definitly intended! He pauses for people to acknownledge his ingenity :D
You forgot the bagels man!
6:31 jesus they forgot to take the stickers off the eggplants before cooking them
😂 that's true, but those stickers are edible anyway.
And to my knowledge they scoop the flesh of the eggplant and do not use the exterior
Was that Larry David reading the paper?
nothing beats Montreal smoked meat !!
Bro, you should try a Montreal meat pie. 👀😉
Those are hella good 👀
Cote des neiges is Southwest of downtown? ok....
the best now costs 14.95 canadian worth every bite
Isn't Schwartz Deli owned by a group headed by Celine Dion? Changed hands a few times. Didn't she at one point own the Nickels chain of restaurants?
btw Schwartz's will FedEx their smoked meat anywhere in Canada. Not sure about the US.
It's a question of taste between Schwartz and Snowdon. The style of smoke meat is a little different, Schwartz doesn't have nitrates and the brisket flavor is still present. Snowdon is less dry and doesn't retain the brisket flavor as much. Both are very good and preference is a question of taste. Both have kept the same format for a very longtime and are authentic. The Main (across the street from Schwartz's), Reubens (Downtown) and Smoke meat Pete's (west island area) are all good options also. Dunn's was turned into a food chain type of restaurant but was once one of the major smoked meat institutions.
montreal smoked meat is smoked AND brinde, steam and boiled
look for the server in the background at 3:45
Smoked meat pete is even better
I've had shwartz and main. But not this place. Main was definitely better than shwartz
I live in Montreal, loving all these videos! We have great food! Eater, you will get some fights about Snowdon Deli being the BEST smoked meat...not sure about them being the best. I find it dry (even the fatty cut) and not enough "kick" in the spices. I prefer Smoke Meat Pete wayyyy out in the West of Montreal.
Where is Smoke meat pete? The only place I find if on Ile perot....
Yes, that's the one, just off the island of Montreal. If you don't have a car, you have to take a commuter train to it, it's worth the trip though!!! Live Jazz on weekends too.
